Ask TaxTim

My wife started employment with the Department of Education 01/07/2015. We have tried to submit her tax return but no IRP5 for the Department of Education is reflecting on e filing and she has not been given an IRP5. What do we do from here seeing as the employer econ cut off date was 31 May?

There seems to be a general problem with IRP5s whereby many are not reflecting in SARS eFiling despite the employers having submitted the information to SARS on time. It would be best for her to follow up with her employer and request a copy and then she will need to manually input into her tax return.
